Helly Hansen Helvetica

Purchased in a reputable outdoor adventure store in the heart of Shinjuku Japan, Helly Hansen's Map Bag is something that has had me scratching my head for the last few months. This is the item that pushed me to start writing my own gear reviews. With a roll down closure and construction details that looked like that of a dry bag, for some reason, I still had my doubts as to whether or not this was actually a dry bag. With no information on the accompanying tags other than the words "Map Bag" and a price, I immediately had my suspicions about this hipster-centric designed dry bag. ​
